Be Careful What You Reward

Daily Dose of Reason - Ethics
Written by Michael J. Hurd, Ph.D.   
Wednesday, 09 July 2008 00:00
Don't reward the wrong behavior--and don't reward the wrong attitudes, either. To "reward" means to respond to something wrong or unhealthy by saying or doing something positive for the person who's wrong. Don't do it. Try to pay attention to how your behavior comes across to the person you're dealing with. Be rational and objective, not emotional. If you're emotional, you might get caught up in pity or "compassion" or some other way of feeling that simply does not apply to the factual reality of the situation. Don't create monsters in your life. There's no need to have even a single one around.
